Title: HELP: The Problems I Encountered Using ElkArte
Post by: Encafe on July 09, 2017, 06:04:19 am
I'm about to launch my stories/poems forum using the ElkArte software on Wednesday.
But I have a few issues that I need help with.

1. In Ucbrowser (Nokia 110) the words are written in the centre instead of left and this makes one to scroll down alot (problem wasn't encountered in Opera Mini).

2. I think the images that represent login and registration when you use an Opera mini to visit an ElkArte should be converted to text because new guests wouldn't understand what they stand for.

3. If I try uploading an attachment using Ucbrowser, my entire message body will be cleared and still no attachment.

4. When posting sometimes my message body gets clear without me trying to upload and attachment using UCbrowser.

5. There are no sub menu like addonsettings and the rest (maybe because of phone, I don't really know.

These are all for now.

The site is www.encafe.com.ng , so I'm expecting a reply.

Where exactly?
I tried with my phone, but it seems to look good:

You can do something like this in your index.css:
Code: [Select]
#button_login .button_title, #button_register .button_title {
    display: inline-block;
    margin-left: .5em;
    margin-top: 0.5em;
    float: left;
}
#button_login a::before, #button_register a::before {
    visibility: hidden;
    width: 0;
}

4. When posting sometimes my message body gets clear without me trying to upload and attachment using UCbrowser.
These seems issues with some javascript function associated with either the editor or the drafts saving.
Honestly I don't know what it could go wrong with the specific browser, and I'm not really able to give any valuable advice. Maybe Spuds has some idea.

The number one problem seems to be because of my screen size and Ucbrowser..
It was okay on Opera Mini.

Which code exactly should I remove and paste the new one.

Well, looking at your reply.
The number 3,4,5 problems are because of UCBrowser, it's just that it's my favourite browser.

What's your screen size?

I forgot to tell. lol
Actually, (and this is even better) you can create via ftp a file named "custom.css" and save it in "themes/default/css".
Then in this file you put:
Code: [Select]
@media screen and (max-width: 50em) {
#button_login .button_title, #button_register .button_title {
display: inline-block;
margin-left: .5em;
margin-top: 0.5em;
float: left;
}
#button_login a::before, #button_register a::before {
visibility: hidden;
width: 0;
}
}
And that should do.

I understand, I too use a browser that I prefer over the others and has always some issue. lol

Screensize: 128*160.
I will try the code, thanks for your response.

The truth is I can't code a css file, so it's better for you to tell me which code to edit in index.css.

You have just to create an empty text file, CSS has nothing fancy.
What do you use to access ftp? FileZilla?

Please be patient! We all have a life.  ;)

I am sure someone will help you when this person has some time for it. Till this happens you have to wait, sorry. It will not help if you push your thread every few hours. I know boards where you would be warned because of such a behaviour.  :-X

Besides... Emanuele posted the code a few hours before:

Code: [Select]
@media screen and (max-width: 50em) {
#button_login .button_title, #button_register .button_title {
display: inline-block;
margin-left: .5em;
margin-top: 0.5em;
float: left;
}
#button_login a::before, #button_register a::before {
visibility: hidden;
width: 0;
}
}

Put this into a file called custom.css and copy it then on your server, as Emanuele told you before.  ;)

I just did and it didn't work.

If I got you right, you said I should go to my default theme css file, create a custom.css and paste this code

@media screen and (max-width: 50em) {
#button_login .button_title, #button_register .button_title {
display: inline-block;
margin-left: .5em;
margin-top: 0.5em;
float: left;
}
#button_login a::before, #button_register a::before {
visibility: hidden;
width: 0;
}
}

.

That's what I did or there something I have to edit in the indextemplate css?

Modified:

The problem is that it is not so in Opera Mini.

It must be because I have already logged in using Opera Mini.

Thanks alot.

I have a few issues I would love you to help me resolve. 
When logged in via Opera Mini, the Admin menu is not there.
And also in Ucbrowser there are no Admin sub-menus like Ad-ON Settings (I hope you know what I mean, which may be because of my screen resolution) please advise.

UC Browser and Opera Mini have a features that optimize data transferred. Opera Turbo and UC CloudBoost IIRC. It works like a proxy and compresses the data, sometimes very extreme. Maybe this is the cause? I don't use both because how heavily the ads in the apps.

That may be the cause.
Let's wait for Emmanuel's comment.

Wednesday is the forum launch day so I want to make sure nothing is wrong.

When some buttons are missing, try to use your small device horizontally.

I did that already in Opera Mini and it's didn't show. I'm sticking to Ucbrowser.

Problem is: if it is just these two browser then it may be a problem with them, if it is all the others it could be another issue.
TBH, the admin panel was not very polished for mobile devices, it should work somehow, but I can't guarantee 100%, even more with these special browsers that do much more than "just" render the HTML on their own.

Thanks for the reply guys.
I hope the new version of ElkArte update will be much better.

Provided it has not been tested in your specific conditions (i.e. a quite small device with special browsers) I guess it may be better or it may be worse, difficult to say. ;)

I hope it's for the best.
I just found a way of getting admin sub menu via Opera Mini single column.

I hope the new update will be more mobile responsive and with multi colour theme B-) .
